Yeah, that's a good question about the GE FD with icemaker. I haven't heard anything on that, nor did I ask the guy at Lowes. This whole issue is odd -- besides this board, no other mention anywhere on the web. Nothing from Samsung (I sent them a question about it two weeks ago, but no reply). And yet, Samsung refrig offerings on the Lowes website are getting thinner and thinner (either "temporarily unavail" or being pulled from the site altogether). Something's not right. Is Lowes backing away from carrying Sammy appliances?

I saw the Electrolux FD refrigerator today for the first time and loved it! I loved the three crisper drawers in the frig -- I thought they were of much better quality than many others I'd seen. I actually really liked the freezer drawers. I didn't think about the possibility of the baskets being a problem with things falling through them, as the previous poster mentioned, but liked the configuration of several baskets including a little front basket to put small things in. I have been worried about whether things would get "lost" in a bottom freezer with just a couple of big baskets, and I don't think I will worry about that with this. I don't want an icemaker but the salesman told me that as of now they don't offer them without icemakers. HOWEVER, he told me that will be changing in a few months -- he said they were going to have them available without icemakers by the end of the summer or the fall. He said he didn't know how much they would cost, but that they would be less, and he guessed probably under $3,000.

Ok, we bought our wave touch french door fridge on may 2010. Nothing but problems!!! First it made ice, but not consistently. It would sometimes make a batch and then just stop. you would have to turn the ice maker off and then back on (almost like resetting it?)... Then we also had issues with the LED's in the wave touch panel burning out (twice). Problem is you cant just replace the bulb. Good thing its still under warranty because they have to replace the whole wave touch panel. Then in April of 2011 the ice maker quit working completely. We had service people come out 5 times until they figured out the problem. The way these ice makers make ice, is there is a bunch of small steel cylinders in which water surrounds them. Once ice has formed the unit then heats up the small steel cylinders and the ice melts and falls off them into the tray. Well the heater broke and so ice was made but could not release into tray. Waited on parts from april till the end of july. In which I wrote Electrolux head office an email stating all the issues. I will say the customer service from electrolux was great, they replaced our fridge with a brand new one. We recieved our new electrolux wave touch fridge. And it looks like they changed the ice maker up. It no longer uses the steel cylinders to make ice. It looks more like the regular way fridges make ice now.. I have only had it for about 6 hours now, so I will update after we have had it for a few months to review again. Hope this heps.

I don't think it is any secret that ice and water dispeners in the door are prone to problems, but I still like them. We've had them in every frig we've owned (GE, Amana, and now Subzero) and they've all had issues. No leaks, but with the GE and Amana the water tended to freeze up and stop dispensing. The Subzero has worked much better, but is still finicky and refuses to work from time to time. That said I'd still get ice and water in the door on my next frig. We recently bought a second home that already had a Viking frig with an ice maker, but no dispenser in the door and I miss it.
